Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 70237
"Default formatting" does not work after second line break
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:26:05 UTC
Please try the following steps: * Create a new Writer document. * Type some text in the first line. * Apply some character formatting to the text (bold face, for example). * Place the cursor at the end of the line and press Shift-Enter to insert a line break. * You now have a second line. Press Ctrl-Shift-Space to reset the character formatting for this second line. * Type some text. It comes out without hard character formatting (bold face in our example), which is correct. * Move to the end of the first(!) line. * Press Shift-Enter again to insert an additional line. * In that new line (between the upper line with character formatting and the lower line without formatting), press Ctrl-Shift-Space to reset formatting for this new line. * Type some text and observe that character formatting has *not* been reset, which I think is a bug.
At least it might be somehow unexpected, but currently I do not think so. I did some tests (with "2.0.2 German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]" ) and it seems that the shortcut always works like Menu "Format - Standard". Help says: "Removes direct formatting _from_selected_text_ or objects", and there isn't anything selected in the report after second "Shift Enter". To me it seems to be a special case that it woks directly in front of the end of the paragraph.
Ah, I wasn’t aware of the fact that Ctrl-Shift-Space is only meant for selections. I believed it to be more like Ctrl-T in Lotus Notes, which you can use while typing. It will reset the character styles from the point on where it is pressed (and also works on selections). In Writer, Ctrl-Shift-Space sometimes seems to work that way, too (see the first instance in the original example), but not consistently so. I think this should be made consistent in one direction or the other, but agree perfectly with this being a P4 problem.
MRU->OS: new document, set hard format for e.g. "Bold" char format, type some text and enter a line break, call "Format.Default formatting" and type some text -> format is correctlöy resetted. Now place cursor again at end of first line and enter another line break -> now "Default formatting" will not work anymore
Checked in 2.3.1 and 2.4-Dev Works OK there, so seems to be fixed ..
